Elementary Schools in American International Academy

The American International Academy district in Michigan is home to two elementary schools: American International Academy Upper Elementary and American International Academy Elementary. Both schools are performing poorly, with consistently low academic proficiency rates and very low statewide rankings compared to the state averages.

At American International Academy Upper Elementary, only 7.27% of 4th graders and 6.25% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 10.5% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in math, far below the state averages. American International Academy Elementary had similarly low performance, with only 12% of 3rd graders and 7.14% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts. Both schools also had very high chronic absenteeism rates of 29.5%, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the stark differences in per-student spending, with American International Academy Elementary spending $42,152 per student compared to $4,576 at American International Academy Upper Elementary, the academic performance at both schools remains consistently low. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving these schools' performance. Comprehensive, multi-faceted interventions focused on addressing attendance, providing targeted academic support, and meeting the social-emotional needs of students will likely be necessary to help these American International Academy elementary schools improve and better serve their students.
